The Agriculture Department of Uttar Pradesh has opened a fresh round of subsidised farm‑machinery bookings, running from 12:00 PM on 7 October 2026 until midnight on 20 October 2026. Farmers who meet the eligibility criteria can submit their requests via the department’s dedicated web portal.
Equipment Covered by the Scheme
The initiative focuses on a broad array of modern tools aimed at boosting Indian agriculture and cutting down on manual effort. Core categories include:
- Farm Machinery Banks
- Custom Hiring Centres (projects up to ₹30 lakh)
- Agricultural drones
- Standalone farm implements
- Crop‑residue management solutions
- Machinery for maize and millet cultivation
- Protective agricultural gear
Step‑by‑Step Application Guide
To apply, growers should visit the department’s website and locate the Kisan Corner. There they can choose the “Machinery Booking” link and fill out the brief online form. The portal provides detailed data on each eligible item, exact subsidy rates, and a complete walkthrough of the application process.
Assistance and Support
If any issue cannot be resolved through the website, farmers are encouraged to reach out to the Agriculture Department office in their district. Staff members can offer personalised help and clarify technical queries.
Why This Programme Matters
By subsidising contemporary equipment, Uttar Pradesh aims to speed up mechanisation, raise farm productivity, and curb the environmental damage caused by crop‑residue burning. Launching the scheme just before Dussehra gives growers a timely chance to upgrade their tools ahead of the forthcoming sowing season.
